John W. Henry ... dusting off the 2002 Red Sox purchase speech for LFC Nation... via guardian.co.uk live coverage: "I am proud and humbled. We have a lot of work to do, and I can't tell you how happy I am that [the deal] has been completed. We're here to win. We have a tradition of winning. We'll do whatever we need to do...."
"We regard our role as that of stewards for the club with a primary focus on returning the club to greatness on and off the field for the long-term. We are committed first and foremost to winning. We have a history of winning, and today we want LFC supporters [insert Red Sox Nation here] to know that this approach is what we intend to bring to this great club...
"Our first step as new owners will be to listen. We want to hear from the manager and the players and those who are part of the daily operation of the club. We will be visible at Anfield [insert Fenway] and will embrace and listen to those who have stood by this club and who are the rock on which its future success will be built. We want to hear from the fans, local leaders and the local community. We want to hear from those who know LFC [insert the Red Sox] best, who have made it the best and share our desire to return to a culture of winning."

Sox Fan: 'This Is a Slap in Our Faces'

"In the end, this venture will be almost $900M.
"The purchase assumes the debt owed to the Royal Bank of Scotland ($405M) and 'THEN' the purchase of the team...$457M (approx). ...And the Red Sox are having 'Bridge Years'.
"The Steinbrenners spend it 'ALL' into the Yankees. They don't spend and buy 'Roush Brooklyn Nascar'...or 'Manchester-United'... it's 'ALL' Yankee Baseball. That's why they spend, spend and win!
"RSN are fools, if you think multiple-ventures, don't distract from singular investment-attention. You keep paying $14.95 for your RSN credit-cards with 'Member' on it...and enjoy repeat 'Bridge Years' as the owners will end up outbid for Carl Crawford, Cliff Lee and more...but hey, we have Liverpool Soccer, right?
"This is a slap in our faces."

"I believe that's the point, sunshine.
Henry paid off your debts, with money the Red Sox could use.
And you have some video posted here, telling us that is from GLOBAL success?
"If you had GLOBAL success singing "You Will Never Walk Alone", then why not pay your own debts off? You want to walk somewhere with me? How about walking over to Carl Crawford's agent and getting him signed for us?
"Sound good?
"Nobody cares if Liverpool Soccer wins a - whatever it is "
